Claims (10)

  1. Verfahren zum Steuern des Korrosionspotentials einer wässrigen Lösung, welche während eines Verfahrens zur Herstellung von Mineralfasermatten rückgewonnen wird, insbesondere die Zerfaserung und das Binden der Fasern mittels eines Bindemittels umfassend, welches eine Polysäure, typischerweise eine Polyacrylsäure ist, wobei die wässrige Lösung wenigstens zum Teil in einem Herstellungsbereich des Bindemittels und/oder einer Waschzone der Produktionsanlage wiederverwendet wird, wobei das Verfahren dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass man den pH der Lösung in dem Recycling-Kreislauf zwischen Minimal- und Maximalwerten hält, indem man dem Kreislauf ein pH-Modifikationsmittel, wie zum Beispiel eine Base, zuführt, wobei der Zustrom des pH-Modifikationsmittels als direkte Funktion der Bindemittel-Säure eingestellt wird, welche während des Zerfaserungsprozesses zugeführt wird, ohne Verwendung von Regelvorrichtungen, welche kontinuierlich Messsonden für den pH-Wert oder den Korrosionszustand der Kreislaufleitungen abfragen.
  2. Steuerverfahren nach Anspruch 1, bei welchem der Zustrom des pH-Modifikationsmittels in dem Recyclingkreislauf direkt proportional dem Fluss der Bindemittel-Säure ist, welche in den Zerfaserungsprozess eingebracht wird.
  3. Steuerverfahren nach Anspruch 2, wobei man in regelmäßigen Intervallen das Verhältnis R durch eine punktuelle Messung des aus dem Recyclingkreislauf wiedergewonnenen Wassers einstellt.
  4. Steuerverfahren nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei der pH-Wert zwischen 6 und 9 liegt.
  5. Steuerverfahren nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei das Wasser des Zerfaserungsprozesses wenigstens zum Teil nach der Zerfaserung auf Höhe des Fasertransportbandes wiedergewonnen wird.
  6. Steuerverfahren nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei das Wasser des Zerfaserungsprozesses wenigstens zum Teil auf Höhe des Aushärteofens für die Mineralfasern wiedergewonnen wird.
  7. Steuerverfahren nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei das wiedergewonnene Wasser wenigstens zum Teil zum Spülen wenigstens eines Bauelementes der Vorrichtung zum Erhalten von Fasermatten verwendet wird, insbesondere der Kammerwände oder dem Fallschacht, die Fasertransportmittel, die Absaugvorrichtungen, welche zur Beseitigung des Wasserüberschusses in den Fasermatten eingesetzt werden, oder zusätzlich der Aushärteeinrichtung für die Fasern.
  8. Steuerverfahren nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei das pH-Modifikationsmittel aus Alkalihydroxidbasen oder Alkalicarbonaten oder Erdalkalicarbonaten ausgewählt wird.
  9. Steuerverfahren nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei die Polysäure ausgewählt wird aus der Gruppe bestehend aus: Acrylsäuren, Methacrylsäuren, Crotonsäuren, Isocrotonsäuren, Maleinsäuren, Zimtsäuren.
  10. Produktionsanlage für Fasermatten, umfassend ein Zerfaserungsaggregat (1), mit einer Zerstäubungseinrichtung (7) für eine Bindemittellösung auf den neu gebildeten Fasern, wobei das Bindemittel eine Polysäure umfasst, welche typischerweise vom Typ einer Acrylsäure ist, Mitteln zur Aufnahme und zum Fördern (9) der bindemittelimprägnierten Fasern in Richtung einer Aushärteeinrichtung (12) und Mitteln zum Absaugen (10) einer wässrigen Lösung, welche Wasser und das Bindemittel im Überschuss aus den Fasermatten, welche sich auf den Fördereinrichtungen (9) befinden enthalten, wobei die Absaugeinrichtung (10) in Flüssigkeitsverbindung mit einer Recyclingschleife (300) der wässrigen Lösung in Richtung einer Herstellungseinrichtung für das Bindemittel (101) steht, welches der Zerstäubereinrichtung (7) zugeführt wird und/oder welches der Einrichtung zum Spülen der Anlage zugeführt wird, wobei die Anlage dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass sie unter anderem Mittel zur Einführung einer Regelung (105, 106) einer kontrollierten Menge eines Modifikationsmittels für den pH umfasst, beispielsweise eine Base und wobei die Mittel zur Regelung (105, 106) Steuereinrichtungen (110) unterworfen sind, welche kalibriert sind als Funktion der Polysäuremenge, welche in das Zerfaserungsaggregat (1) eingebracht wird, wobei die Vorrichtung keine Steuervorrichtung aufweist, welche kontinuierlich Messsonden für den pH-Wert oder den Korrosionszustand der Kreislaufleitungen abfragt.
